"Thief" is track four on the Hungry Lights studio album "Three Gods & Me." Remember that this is a summary, not the entire story! It is like 10% of what is actually going on—just the skeleton. It is a rough translation of what is literally going on in the lyrics. There is also a figurative story that is taking place at the same time which goes much deeper and does not involve the fictional character Prill, but that is up to you to find :) It is much easier to discover the hidden meaning when you grasp a decent understanding of the literal meaning first. These are your puzzle pieces, and I highly suggest you study them before pursuing the next albums in the sequence, otherwise emotion and information will be lost, therefore connections will be missed!

There is a lot going on in "Thief." Prill, Reflaugh, and the crew disembark at a northern port city called, "Ik'theves." Everybody is presumably staring at Prill because he looks like a burn victim, and he is angry and embarrassed about it. Justin has said that Reflaugh tried to swindle fake orbs of "Mydrenite" which is apparently some extremely rare and expensive type of organic matter on their planet, "Terrium." In Ik'theves, the price of such heresyis death by the hands of The Three Gods.

Now... this could have been Prill's out... but because of the inner turmoil that has been presented in the first two songs, it is safe to assume that this is why Prill decides to fight The Gods for Reflaugh's life instead of just letting him die and going home. Prill was too ashamed to go home. He probably thought he looked like a monster, and in the first two songs, he expressed many times that he just wanted to die. He had failed to catch Fothcrah, he had failed to bring his daughter back home himself, so fighting for Reflaugh's life in The Pit would either be his redemption or his "honorable" death.

Based on what the announcer "Krayle" says at the end of the song, Prill's move to fight for Reflaugh is absolutely unheard of, but the people of the city accept his wish.
